★★★★★ Paid for itself in the first month

Every view (board, Gantt, list) on the same data. We switched from spreadsheets and the team picked it up quickly.

★★★★☆ Solid, with a couple of gaps

Does the core job well. Huge template library. The main thing I'd change: too many settings for small teams.

★★★☆☆ Good, but check pricing first

It works, but time tracking is basic, which surprised us at renewal.
